Timeline

Since the launch of the strategy development process in October 2021, on-campus content development moved forward in concert with robust off-campus constituency involvement and input.

 

Over the past year, we actively listened to students, faculty and staff on the Stillwater campus, as well as at partner campuses and across the Cowboy family — including alumni, extension, donors and friends.

 

The timeline depicted a broad view of the steps in the strategy process.
